Animal Crossing: New Horizons is easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game of 2020 (Sorry Zelda!).

Fans have been waiting since 2013 for a full Animal Crossing release. The last one was New Leaf on the 3DS. It was one of the highest-rated games, by both players and critics, of the year.

Fortunately, fans don't have to wait too much longer for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as it arrives on the Switch on 20 March 2020.

A new life on a deserted island awaits, and fans can celebrate the release in style.
